Dog and cats! Living together! Mass hysteria!

[giza]

 


From Reuters:

Brazilian student Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, holds her cat Mimi together with what Cassia claims are Mimi's own offsprings born with dog traits last Friday, three months after mating with a neighbour's dog, in the southern Brazilian city of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state, November 15, 2006.

A geneticist from the Passo Fundo University plans to take blood samples from the animals to verify the claim by Cassia and her husband Rogerio that the puppies are part of Mimi's litter of six, of which the three that were born with cat features died soon after birth, leaving the surviving three dog-like offsprings.

Given the wiiiild difference between the number of chromosomes in a cat and in a dog, I have a very hard time believing this. Pity though. It'd be AWESOME!

'Cause, see, because they're both pets they're BOUND to be genetically compatible.





...no, wait, it's bullshit. ;)

Like the woman who had baby rabbits in the 16th century? Till they found out she was stuffing baby rabbits in her vagina before each 'birth'?
SCIENCE!

I did use to think that cats and dogs were the same species, just girls and boys. That was a while back, though. :-)
